The technology inside a hearing aid is what determines whether it’s actually going to help you in the situations where you need it most. It’s not just about making things louder. It’s about how the device processes sound, adapts to different environments and handles the specific frequencies you struggle with.
State of the Art Hearing Centers takes this seriously when matching you with hearing aids. Our hearing specialists look at your hearing test results, but we also talk through where you’re having the hardest time and what you need your devices to do throughout your day.
From there, we recommend technology levels and features that address those specific challenges, whether that means better background noise management, automatic adjustments when you move between environments or connectivity options that let you stream calls and music directly to your ears.
Understanding Technology Levels
Basic and advanced hearing devices are designed to meet different listening needs. Basic devices provide reliable support for everyday sounds and quieter environments, making them a straightforward option for consistent use.
Advanced hearing aids include additional features that can adjust automatically to changing surroundings, reduce background noise and support more complex listening situations. The right choice depends on your daily routines, where you spend most of your time and what features will make a noticeable difference in how you hear.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth allows your hearing aids to connect directly to other devices like phones, tablets or TVs. This connection makes it easier to stream calls, music or media straight to your hearing aids, so you can hear clearly without relying on external speakers. It can simplify daily life by keeping your hearing devices integrated with the technology you already use.
Speech Enhancement
Speech enhancement focuses on making voices easier to hear in different settings. It helps separate conversations from background noise, so you don’t have to strain to understand what people are saying. This feature can make social interactions, meetings and everyday conversations more comfortable and less tiring.
Feedback Cancelation
Feedback cancelation reduces or eliminates the whistling sounds that can sometimes come from hearing aids. It works automatically to keep listening clear and uninterrupted, allowing you to wear your devices without distraction. This makes everyday listening more comfortable and less frustrating.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence in hearing aids helps devices adjust to your environment automatically. It can recognize patterns in different sound settings and optimize hearing without you needing to make constant changes. This feature helps you focus on conversations and activities rather than adjusting your devices.
Rechargeable Technology
Rechargeable hearing aids use built-in batteries that can be charged overnight, eliminating the need for frequent disposable batteries. They are convenient for daily use and can provide a full day of hearing support on a single charge. This technology makes managing your devices easier and more reliable.
